Myself, and tens of programmers I know, use ES6 modules (and their precursors, CommonJS modules) for years now and can't even believe there was a time when they didn't exist, given that they have totally transformed (in a good way) the way we work. And that is also the vibe I am getting from the community (twitter, blog posts, meetups, etc). So when you say that modules are "redundant and unnecessary on the server-side. and [...]continue to fail to solve an relevant pain-point for everyday programmers on the frontend-side now", I believe you are not talking about myself or about the community I surround myself with.
